This sewing screen was made to match one my mom has that her grandfather and aunt helped her make when she was little. My dad made me the frame for Christmas and my mom helped me put together the background and pockets. Then I had to eat lots of jelly to get those empty jars but it’s finally completely finished.

I have one of these made by my grandmother about 60 years ago in “Home Bureau”. While trying to describe it to a friend, I Googled ‘sewing screen’ and found this site. Amazing!! It’s exactly the same except for the material, and mine is a darker stain. I want to give it away to someone who can use it, as I’m downsizing and have no place for it.
